    • Close Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
      Type: Relapsing-remitting MS

      I was diagnosed with MS 14 years ago after my son was born.

    • Close Multiple Myeloma

      Just diagnosed with multiple myeloma 22/7/08, I have had some radiation for a lesion near my spinal cord. Due to start chemo next week (VAD). Aredia is also in the plan.

      Treatments

      Dexamethasone Working / Worked
      The dex almost immediately relieved the pain I was having in my back/ribs. Side effects, mainly just feel like my head is stuffed with cotton wool, and of course my face is puffed up like elephant woman.
